I have a similar problem but in windows server 2003..
I would like to schedule a jar file to run which uses IO.
Can someone help?

How to mention the relative path of the file in fileinputstream?

The directory structure is as follows,Inside the **model** folder i have a java file called GetContents.java
I need to refer the input.xls( a file inside the template folder ) in GetContents.java file.

I tried

new FileInputStream("..\\..\\..\\template\\DevContentsTemplate.xls")
CVT - src -action -model -GetContents.java -bean -form -utils -WebContent -WEB-INF -classes -action -model -GetContents.class -bean -forms -utils -lib -template input.xls

cos the GetContents.class file will be inside webcontent\web-inf\classes\model\GetContents.class and I thought if i use the above relative path , it should refer webcontent\web-inf\template\input.xls
But it throws a file not found exception.

Please note that i have configured the tomcat server working directory to point to my current project "CVT"

Kindly help.

Thanks.

I tried 2 approaches

1) i tried to use the following in my action class,
String strPath = request.getSession().getServletContext().getRealPath("");

Following is the value set in strPath
C:\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\wtpwebapps\ContentValidation

then i tried ,
String strPath = request.getSession().getServletContext().getRealPath("")+"\\WebContent\\WEB-INF\\template\\initial.xls";

Following is the value set in strPath
C:\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\wtpwebapps\ContentValidation\WebContent\WEB-INF\template\initial.xls

It says file not found exception.
'But when i use the aboslute path ,
C:\workspace\ContentValidation\WebContent\WEB-INF\template\input.xls
it works fine

2)
String path = request.getContextPath();
System.out.println(path+"/WebContent/WEB-INF/template/input.xls");
output was
/ContentValidation/WebContent/WEB-INF/template/input.xls

but still i get file not found exception

can someone help please

Hi,

I am having an action class and inside my action class i want to refer to an excel file in the following directory : webContent/WEB-INF/templates/sample.xls.

I am able to access this file if i specify absolute path, but when i give relative path, it gives a FileNotFoundException.

How do i solve this?

Thanks.
